Connect Servers preferences
The Connect Servers preferences allow to make settings for the default Connect Server and to
set up connections to additional PlanetPress Connect Server modules.
The first Connect Server instance is the default instance. This instance is used when
generating print output from the Designer and when opening a PS/PCL/AFP file in the
DataMapper.
The default instance cannot be removed but it can be edited (except for its name). The Server
module can be located on the same computer (hostname: localhost) or on a different machine.
Multiple Designer modules can use a single Server module to generate print output, as long as
the appropriate hostname, username and password are provided. In essence, this can be used
to create a single Print Server.
Any additional Connect Servers may be selected in the Send to Connect Server dialog (see
"Sending files to Connect Server" on page434).
All required information is summarized in the table, which has buttons to the right which allow
one to Add ( ), Edit ( ) or Delete ( )individual entries. Double clicking on any entry in the
table also launches the Edit dialog.
The options available in the Add/Edit dialogs are as follows:
l
Name: Enter a unique name (case-sensitive).
l
URL: Enter a valid URL (including the protocol, e.g. http://, and port).
l
Authentication:
l
User name: Enter the username to authenticate to the Connect Server.
l
Password: Enter the password to authenticate to the Connect Server.
Authorized users are managed via the Server Configuration Tool. See "Security and
Users Settings" on page111.
